I had to say that ^ in honor of the Kentucky Derby. I didn't win:( I picked Dance With Fate, who got third, so I'm told. I didn't get to watch it, which is probably a good thing. But I had a member tell me the second the race was over. I was so excited all day!!
Picture this: You're a young Donny Osmond, 14 or so. You walk out on stage, microphone in hand, and the ladies begin to SCREAM! "We love you Donny!!!" You reach into your back pocket and grab a comb, brush through your hair a couple times and the ladies go even more wild. Then the music starts, you take a big breath in and begin to sing. "and they call it.....PUPPY CHOW"
That was the end of that visual. Elder Martin made puppy chow this last week and that was all I could think of. I know the real words are puppy love, but that isn't fun at all. Elder Martin's puppy chow sucks compared to ours. He uses half the amount of everything, except for Chex. There aren't any goopy clumps and you don't even feel sick after eating a few. Oh well, I'll take what I can get:)
Did you know Brian Urlacher grew up in Lovington NM?! That is 20 minutes away from hobbs and we do a lot of work up there...pretty cool!
We had MLC again this past week and it was a lot better than last time. We had some pretty sweet instruction, it was President's second to last time in MLC, so it was tender for him. He taught about the Priesthood and Humility, it was killer, real strong spirit. Then we learned how to find people using FAMILY HISTORY. It is so fun! So far it works pretty well too. Everyone loves their family, so duh!! Anyway, now I get to teach Zone Training again, second time this transfer, on Wednesday. I am real excited. I've been shining my shoes up real good recently too, so I'm always happy to show them off hahahah.
My watch broke, well the battery died, early on in the week. I cherish the tan-line I have on my wrist though, so I didn't take it off. I've just had a blank watch for a week and it is so frustrating sometimes hahaha. I'll buy a battery today though:)
I got to go on exchanges with the Elder who trained Tom Whattcot. The kid is real quiet, but a powerful teacher. I enjoyed talking about all the funny things Tom does too. At the end of the night we listed off all 151 original Pokémon. IT was hard, but a real fun night haha.
We taught a couple killer lessons this week too. We found this guy named Carlos who calls us his homies, even during his prayers. When we taught him the spirit was powerful and at the end of the lesson he gave us the last of his marijuana...he wants the gospel a lot more than he wants to be high!! It was a cool experience. We even set a Bap Date!! We had to pass him off to the other elders though, cause he doesn't speak Spanish. It's ok though, I am still really happy to have got to teach him that one time! He'll do great.
I finished El Libro De Mormon this week!! It felt so good!! Now I need to read it again and actually try to understand it all hahaha.
This next week is jam packed. We are going down to move some Carlsbad Elders on Tuesday. On Wednesday we have Zone Training. Then on Thursdaywe get to go to the TEMPLE!! YAY! THen to top it off I get to Skype home on SUNDAY! Yippeee!!
Anyway, I love you so much. Keep doing good work and be happy!:)
Love,
Elder Porter
